Project Summary This intergenerational project brings together the Gypsy Roma and Traveller communities of Kensington and
Chelsea to produce and maintain a living archive through film, audio, exhibition, website and book. It will be central
to the borough’s Gypsy Roma and Traveller History Month, annually held in June.
A residential programme of creativity and media literacy will bring the community together to actively shape the
project from the start and underpin other learning delivered in the borough.
Project aim This project seeks to strengthen the active citizenship and community participation of Gypsies Roma and Travellers
in Kensington and Chelsea and enable the skills to create a Traveller archive documenting a history stretching back
to the 1800s in the borough. The archive will be hosted by the Library Service and form the cornerstone of Gypsy
Roma and Traveller History Month activity and celebration, held in June each year.
The primary aims of this project are threefold:
• Adult members of the Gypsy Roma and Traveller community learning together with their children/young people to
have improved media literacy skills gained through a residential programme of creative learning and through
training in the Borough.
• Participants develop a Traveller archive through film, audio, exhibition and book
• Parents/Carers and young people to deliver a programme of activity for GRTHM 2013.
Project need Gypsy Roma and Traveller communities are among the UK‘s most marginalised groups (CRE, 2006) with
children/young people and adults experiencing the very worst in education, employment, health and
accommodation (Cemlyn et al, 2009). The progress report by the Ministerial group on tackling inequalities
experienced by Gypsies and Travellers expressed concern that “Gypsies and Travellers are being held back by
some of the worst outcomes of any group across a range of social indicators.” (DCLG, Apr 2012). The Gypsy Roma
and Traveller communities In Kensington & Chelsea suffer from ghettoisation – an issue which this project is
expressly designed to address.
CLIF theme Learning for community
Contribution to CLIF theme The project is designed to widen participation of one of the most disadvantaged and least likely communities to
participate in learning - the Gypsy Roma and Traveller communities of Kensington and Chelsea.
By providing an intensive residential programme of media training and creativity and drawing out and celebrating
personal and community experience and stories, the project will affirm self-respect and identities, grow participants’
confidence and self-expression and strengthen the Gypsy Roma and Traveller community voice.
Through developing an archive, through its presence on the web and in the Central Library and through the annually

of 2
held Gypsy Roma and Traveller History Month, the profile, awareness and engagement with the Traveller
community amongst the wider population will be positively raised and promoted.
Community involvement and
accountability
This project is building on the experiences of partners including Irish Travellers from the Stable Way Residents
Association and has taken on board the views of learners and communities in developing this project proposal.
A programme of residential activity is planned to help ensure that participants are able to reflect on activity and give
steer to how the project should move forward.
Members of the community will be trained in interviewing and will be employed to conduct interviews with
participants. Further participants will use the skills gained in film and audio to provide a living evaluation of the
project.
Pedagogy Participants will be supported in their learning through volunteers, outreach workers, youth workers and tutors
through a programme of residentials and training delivered locally in the Borough.
The Westway Development Trust and the Boroughs’ Housing Commissioning Service currently have outreach
workers supporting the Gypsy Roma and Traveller communities in the Borough and these shall provide continuing
support to learners as part of this project.
Subject specialist tutors from the third sector are stakeholders in this project and would provide expertise and on-
going support to learners.
Oxford Gardens Primary School will provide in school support to pupils involved in the project
Information, Advice and
Guidance
The project is designed to enable learners to have a raised awareness of and engage with a number of local third
sector organisations – some of which have specialist information, advice and guidance provision relevant to their
personal circumstance (e.g. NOVA – new opportunities and Westway Development Trust).
Making these connections between the community and the third sector will in itself offer opportunities for
progression (i.e accessing NOVAs ICT training)
Further in getting to know the community and interviewing participants throughout the project, learners specific
needs will be gathered and opportunities identified to take these forward.
Equal opps, health and safety
and safeguarding
All current staff and any new staff engaged on the project are and will be: CRB checked; selected on their
experience of and ability to demonstrate their commitment to equal opportunities; and inducted on health and safety
issues and procedures. All Westway Development Trust staff are given copies of the organisation’s policies on
equal opportunities, health and safety and safeguarding.
The ethos of the project, promoted and overseen by the project manager engaged by Westway Development Trust,
is to ensure that all participants from Gypsy Roma and Traveller communities are treated with respect, that their

contributions are welcomed and encouraged and that they have a full role in contributing to the direction of the
project.

Exit and sustainability
strategy
The partnership will be sustained beyond the life of the project and the archive will be mainstreamed into the
boroughs Gypsy Roma and Traveller History Month activity in future years.
There is already an ongoing commitment from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the Westway
Development Trust to fund, support and promote participation of the Gypsy Roma and Traveller community in
future years. We will use the experience of this project to develop further services to meet the needs of this hard to
reach community and seek to identify and secure other funding opportunities, including from other trusts, Lottery
sources and the Council.
The best people to encourage participation from members of hard to reach groups are individuals from within the
communities. By working together with community organisations that have already established a level of trust and
moving on together via a transparent process with a high degree of user-involvement and a positive learning
experience with genuinely useful outcomes, we know from experience that others from the communities will
become engaged through word of mouth.
The Westway Development Trust has 40 years’ experience of working with communities in Kensington and
Chelsea – enabling individuals and strengthening communities. This project will seek to build on that experience,
facilitating learners to progress from this activity with raised confidence and aspirations.
